Kingdom Plantae Flashcards
Natural Classification System for flowering plants was given by
George Bentham & Joseph Dalton Hooker
Organism belonging to same taxa have a common
ancestor
Taxonomy carried out using computer based on all observable characteristics
Numerical Taxonomy
Benefits of Numerical Taxonomy
each character is given equal importance
Taxonomy based on cytological information like chromosome number structure behaviour
Cytotaxonomy
Taxonomy that uses the chemical constituents of the plant to resolve confusions
Chemotaxonomy
chlorophyll bearing, simple, thalloid, autotrophic and largely aquatic organisms
Algae
association bw algae and animal
sloth bear
Volvox is a
Colonial algae
Ulothrix is a
filamentous algae
Spirogyra is a
Filamentous algae
flagellated isogametes
Ulothrix
non flagellated isogametes
Spirogyra
Fusion between one large, non motile female gamete and a smaller motile male gamete is termed
oogamous
Examples of oogamous
Volvox, fucus
half of the total Carbon dioxide fixation on earth is carried out by which organism through photosynthesis
Algae
Which organism are of paramount importance as primary producer of energy rich compounds which form the basis of food cycles of all Aquatic animals
Algae
marine algae used as food
Porphyra
Laminaria
Sargassum
marine brown and red algae produce large amounts of
hydrocolloids
eg:- algin(brown algae), carragreen(red algae)
Gelidium and Gracilaria gives
Agar
Agar is used
to grow microbes
Preparation of ice cream and jellies
Chlorella
- unicellular alga
- Rich in proteins
- used as food supplements even by space travellers
Chlorophyceae
green algae
Chlorophyceae are green because of
chlorophyll a
chlorophyll b
storage bodies in chlorophyceae located in chloroplast
pyrenoids
Pyrenoids contain
- Starch
- Proteins
Chlorophyceae have
1. Inner cell wall made of
2. Outer cell wall made of
- Cellulose
- Pectose
